In the following hours on the flight, 30 time the air hostess passed the passenger, she would ask him with a smile 31 he needed help or not. But the passenger never 32 her words.
When he was going to get off the 33 ，the passenger asked the air hostess to hand him the passengers' booklet（意见簿）．She was very 34 . She knew that he would write down sharp (刻薄的) words, which might make her 35 the job. 36 with a smile she handed it to him.
Off the plane, she 37 the booklet and smiled, for the passenger put it, "On the flight, you asked me if I needed help for twelve times 38 . How can I refuse 39 twelve sincere (真诚的) smiles?"

A man got a new car and he was very proud 26 it. One day, when he 27 back home, he saw his three-year-old son 28 hitting the new car with a toy hammer. The man was 29 angry that he ran to his son, grabbed the hammer from 30 , and used the hammer to hit the little boy’s hands too hard. The 31 boy cried out but his father didn’t care.
When the father 32 , he took his son to the 33 as fast as he could. Although the doctor tried his best to save the 34 bones（骨头）, he had to cut the fingers from both of the boy’s hands in the end.
When the boy 35 in the hospital and saw his hands, he innocently(天真) said, “Dady, I’m sorry about your car.” Then he asked, “but 36 are my fingers going to grow back?” The father 37 very sad.
Think about the story when 38 steps on your feet or when you wish to take revenge(报复). Think first before you lose your patience with someone. Cars can 39 , but broken bones and hurt feelings often can’t.
People often make mistakes. But we should remember that forgiveness is greater than revenge. 40 before act!

My tears run down when I talk to my parents on the phone. What are they doing when I 41 them?
Dad works from 7a.m to 9p.m. Mum does all the 42 . She also has to work in the vineyard (葡萄园). But I can’t do 43 for them. Every day she got up earlier than Dad. When I 44 call her at 7:30 in the evening, she is still working and 45 supper. How hard it is for a daughter to stop the 46 in heart! And even harder to keep back the tears. 47 only thing I can do is to promise her that I’ll study hard in the university. I also 48 her to take care of herself and dad. I can not live 49 them.
Mum says the happiest time for dad and 50 is when my sister and I return home. We play 51 in the room, watch TV or do anything we like, with dad 52 mum cooking together in the kitchen. It is 53 the happiest time for me. I’ve never thought my holidays at home could be so 54 . I wanted to do more housework because mum really needs more rest.
Love, sometimes, doesn’t need too many 55 . We may be too shy to say the warm word out. Then give them a call and tell them you miss them.
